Eye Candy for the Weekend


I thought I would follow up with a littlebit of eye
candy from the Road to California Show.

                                              
A fountain of fabric!

                                                     






There was a fascinating exhibit of

 signature quilts at the show also.



 I love this one.

 This is a sweet store that we made a
pit stop at

on our way to the quilt show.

 This store is Strawberry Patches in Bakersfield CA.
It's 3 hours away from home for me... but I think it
would definitely be worth a little road trip to...
just to go there alone!

Last night I was talking with the hubs about blogs when a contestant on 
Wheel of Fortune said she had a blog... and it had xxx amount of views.

So that prompted me to look at my "stats".
I have an amazing (at least I think so) 719, 640
page views.
I have over 900 sweet followers. And
I noticed that I am just a few posts away from a whopping 700!
Now, that is a fun one... so I am going to have to celebrate!
I will be thinking of an idea and I will let you know when
it's my blogiversary so you can celebrate with me!
It won't be long!!!

16 friends stopped by to chat:

While visiting Strawberry Patches, I hope you took a minute to visit Sweet Surrender,located about 25 feet away. Great cookies, cupcakes, and other baked goods freshly made daily.
Another local quilt store is Bolts to Binding and it is located very close to the freeway. Their offerings are quite different but still worth a visit if you would like to stretch your legs or use a clean restroom.

What beautiful eye candy, thank you sharing to those of us that could not attend the show.

I agree. Strawberry Patches in Bakersfield is definitely a great pit stop. I am always inspired by their samples and fabric and always stop when heading down Hwy 99 from Fresno.
Congrats on your stats.
